Here's one of my favorite quotes about Early Childhood Development and Education:
"'Experts tell us that 90% of all brain development occurs by the age of five. If we don't begin thinking about education in the early years, our children are at risk of falling behind by the time they start Kindergarten.
- Robert. L. Ehrlich"
I like this quote a lot because I see the truth in it with my 1st grade students. For example, all of my students who attended pre-k is reading on or above grade level. However, my struggling students did not attend pre-k or receive much help at home. As a result, they are very behind the others in all areas (reading, math, emotionally, and socially).
This is a great quote. True proof that validates the work that we do as early childhood educators. Good luck as you move on into the next semester of courses. It has been great to follow your blog.
